Employment opportunities for newcomers to Canada are as diverse as the Canadian landscape. Manufacturing, natural resources, government (or public service), financial, telecommunications and professional designations are just a few of the employment sectors to choose from.

However, immigrants can face unique challenges when looking for work in Canada. These could include developing a list of networking contracts from scratch or obtaining certification so skills and education are recognized here. Tackling these steps takes some planning and perseverance. There are plenty of support programs and information on how to prepare for work in Canada, and where to find immigrant services in your area. Several provinces across the country also have government-assisted programs to help connect employers with skilled immigrants.
